The was cool. For several years I got to enjoy this guy (at various times) while waiting for my train in the lower levels of Times Square. It was a perfect sound to help relax on my way home.
my Dad has a collection of harmonicas....some really nice rare ones too. I cant wait to make some noise!
So a few years back I was at a New Year's Eve show at the Ryman that Old Crow Medicine Show was playing. They brought out a special guest and introduced him. It was Lee Oskar, one of the founding members of the band, War. Evidently he produces harmonicas now, and that's what Old Crow uses. So this guy is up on stage, and they proceed to play Lowrider with a string band, and this guy killing the harmonica. It might be one of the most fun things I've ever witnessed. Lee Oskar, plus OCMS, playing Lowrider at the Ryman on NYE. Spectacular.
